⚡🇧🇫 In 2022, just *19.5%* of Burkina Faso’s population had access to electricity — with *rural communities* nearly left in the dark 🌑.
But in just *2 years under Captain Ibrahim Traoré*, that number has surged to *50%* total access — and *87%* urban coverage! 🔥🏙️
That’s not just progress — *that’s a revolution*. 🇧🇫✊
📈 What changed?
🔹 *Decentralized energy push*: Traoré’s gov’t prioritized *off-grid solutions* and *solar initiatives*, especially for rural zones ☀️🏞️
🔹 *Energy sovereignty*: Focus shifted from foreign-controlled grids to *local empowerment*
🔹 *Public infrastructure overhaul*: Rapid deployment of electricity hubs, mini-grids, and micro-power stations 🔌
⚠️ Why it matters:
Burkina Faso is proving that *post-colonial independence* isn’t just political — it’s *material*. Lighting homes, powering schools, running hospitals — this is what *real freedom* looks like. 🏥📚🏠
Many doubted Traoré’s rise. But the numbers speak louder than opinions.
📢 *That’s what leadership backed by the people delivers.*
